Cando, ND

Where has the month gone?  Into history!  And what have we accomplished?  I like the thought that it’s not always what we have done, but what we’ve been that counts.

The positive response re: the Library was appreciated!  We are SO GLAD to know that there is support and our doors can remain open.  Another plus was over 80 hardcover books donated from the Bisbee School Library when they closed, and we were able to get a great buy on some children’s paperback books that we didn’t have.  Some shelves were also purchased; now to decide how to fit them into our Library!!

A special little thing happened last week at the Library: the 6 weeks of the Summer Reading Program was completed so we didn’t have a Story Time.  Two young girls (11 years old?) came and asked if they could do Story Time for 2 or 3 weeks!!  That’s leadership developing! and we are grateful.

Another note of interest for the summer is that the attendance at Farmers Market has been very good THE FIRST HOUR! and then, we wait!!!  Hours have been adjusted twice since the beginning of the Market to see if we can find a time that is best.  Maybe just being open 1 hour is the answer for our small community??    Any suggestions?

 
Cando celebrated the 4th of July with a big parade on the 5th of July.  It was quite a car show with around 60 cars entered plus 1 tractor and a motorcyle or two and one pickup closed the parade with a homemade lighthouse with red/white/blue flags in the back.

There were family reunions, class reunions and school reunions around and all these brought people to Cando.  Plus one Cando graduate of years ago and now a photographer from Colorado had a photo show in the Audi art gallery.  It was a hot day and just after the show and shine, there was a brief downpour with a few small hailstones.

Next year with be Cando’s 125th birthday so many BIG EVENTS are being planned. Just wait until then!!!
